Hello Nanavirginniaw,


You would need to turn on iCloud Drive on both devices (Settings > [your name] > iCloud) and use the iCloud location (instead of the "On My iPad"/"On My iPhone" locations) in the Files app.


All the folders and files on iCloud Drive are synchronized on all your devices.

Transfer with iCloud Drive:

Well, you could upload items to iCloud Drive from your iPhone, and then download them from iCloud Drive.to your iPhone. It wouldn't be efficient as using the Files app, though, but it may get the job done. Go here: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive
